In 1997, my mother took me to movie theater to see the newly released special edition version of Star Wars: A New Hope. As a 7 year old boy, I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen and immediately fell in love with it. She would continue to take me to see The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi.
I usually don't flaunt the fact that I'm a huge Star Wars nerd because it's usually a huge turn-off for many people. But, seeing as my closest friends are the only people reading this blog and probably already know this, I don't see any harm in making this post. My interest in Star Wars does not interfere with my personal or social life like some people out there. That would just be downright ridiculous.
Over the years I would continue to widen my collection of Star Wars novels and expand my knowledge on all things Star Wars. My best friend growing up was as into it as I was, and I've actually met a friend here in Oshkosh who loves it as much as I do.
My favorite episode would have to be The Empire Strikes Back. The battle of Hoth, Dagobah, Cloud City, the presence of Boba Fett, the duel between Luke and Darth Vader, the climax where Vader reveals that he is Luke's father...I could go on and on. Speaking of Boba Fett, he is the most badass motherfucker from anything, ever.
Here is a clip from The Empire Strikes Back. This is my favorite scene from any of the movies. It's a dramatic scene where Han Solo is being frozen in carbonite and taken by Boba Fett so he can collect his bounty.
